I’d have my other device with LineageOS for that among other reasons!

That’s good to hear! My only holdout is that it’s only 4g. So I may hold off. But I really want to test a Linux phone.

Technology is going to be a part of every kids future (if they have one…) and should be taught with the other things they need to learn to be functional and successful.

There are other ways to limit social media access, and wccessnto other unproductive media. Use school sanctioned devices for work. Hire proper IT folk to lock down the equipment. But that would require funding for schools to be adequate.

This is a complex issue. You are over simplifying it.

I am investigating nabbing a OnePlus 6T for testing PostmarketOS. Anyone have any experience with it?

I switched to Fennec.

I wasn’t trying to be short or condescending either. Just relaying what I know.

It is another layer of privacy in some cases. Could protect against poisoning of I’m not mistaken, but don’t quote me.

I know for me, I prefer to self host things where I can so I can own as much of my own data as possible.

Do you know what DNS does?

If you don’t, essentially is what translates IP addresses to hostnames.

So what having unbound would do is allow you to do DNS lookup locally.

I have used Tempo but I self host Navidrome

You can use both. Unbound is a validating, recursive, caching DNS resolver.

You can setup Unbound to be a self hosted DNS solution, and point PiHole to use your Unbound.

Its almost like there are consequences of banning something folks don’t understand the full scope of…

Singling out a problem that exists in a country I am very familiar with is a non problem. I didn’t state it was special to America. I didn’t speak on any other nation and their hatred of minorities. I didn’t even state anything about it being part of “human nature.”

I spoke on being familiar with the fact that it is a problem in America.

When I say America I mean the people of America. There are large numbers of folks, regardless of why they do, hate minorities.

I didn’t say the wealthy “elite” weren’t the cause of a lot of the divide. They absolutely are. No such thing as an ethical billionaire.

I’m not disagreeing with you on the fact that your financial status isn’t what really separates us. What I am saying is there is still too much hate towards minorities. That doesn’t change that the wealthy are a problem.

You’re taking two separate ideas and merging them into one “truth.”

They ate two separate topics. Just because the wealthy are guilty of the bad they are doing doesn’t take away the fact that there is too much hate towards minorities in America from the people that live here.

I didn’t imply that. Stating that there is too much hatred of minorities doesn’t mean that America fails at everything. That is a stretch. Me pointing out that America has a lot of hatred towards minorities isn’t a reflection of everything America does as a whole is inherently bad.

I didn’t say that America can’t have a good influence on another country. America isn’t one to look to especially now for how minorities are treated.

I didn’t compare to any place. I just stated America is filled with hatred towards minorities.

I didn’t say there were no positives from America did I? I didn’t rank where America stands in how progressive or conservative America is.

I said America is full of hatred towards Minorities with no comparison to another place.

I am not wrong. There is too much of it.

So “come off” what exactly?

Not from America. America is full of hatred towards minorities.

VPN I am sticking with Mullvad.

I had it for a few months. Luckily it was easy to swap out this early on.

Time to find a new option.

Cancelled my subscription today. I will be finding an alternative.

Always glad to help! A little kindness goes a long ways!

And glad to hear you got it working, and thanks for the update! I love when people do that. If I ask about an issue online I go back and update with the solution in hopes it helps someone!
